Ledaig Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 8 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a warm, honey-gold glow.

Nose

Peat smoke and coastal brine rise in a maritime bouquet, with iodine and sea salt notes as a backdrop. Beneath, sherry-rich sweetness unfolds—prune, fig and orange zest—woven with toffee, cocoa, and a touch of vanilla. The result is a polished, warming aroma that hints at vanishing embers and old oak.

Palate

Coastal peat coats the palate with smoky iodine and sea-salt, tempered by sherry-cask sweetness. Dried fig, raisin and toffee mingle with orange zest and dark chocolate, while gentle pepper adds lift. The finish is maritime and resinous, with lingering peat, nutty oak and a final whisper of smoke.

Finish

Medium-length finish of coastal peat and sea spray, slowly releasing sherry-soft sweetness, with dried fruit and cocoa notes. A gentle iodine tang and whisper of oak linger, like sunset over the water.
